Sketchpad Explorer for iPad
Monday, November 7, 2011 at 6:33PM On the lookout for possible apps that can help you replace Smartboard activities? Take a look at this math app that has a lot of possibilities! App designers need to take a cue from this app as well as there are so many possibilities for developing better apps for iPads based upon this model. Content can be added to this app! Here is the description straight from the website itself;
"Drag, manipulate and animate visual mathematics to develop and generalize your understanding of fundamental concepts across elementary math, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, and beyond. Based on the award-winning software The Geometer’s Sketchpad®, the Sketchpad Explorer app allows you to interact with, and investigate, any document created in Sketchpad. With a simple, powerful multitouch interface, Sketchpad Explorer puts mathematical comprehension at your fingertips."
Sketchpad Explorer includes iPad®-specific activities and workbooks for:
• elementary mathematics (Grades 1-6)
• early algebra (Grades 7-9)
• geometry (Grades 9-10)
as well as full access to many mathematical documents hosted on the Sketch Exchange community site and across the web. Users of The Geometer’s Sketchpad can also create and share documents with and for their iPad using iTunes® File Sharing.
Thanks to my colleague, Helen Mowers (ADE) for mentioning this app ...
